Named “Undercover” after the McLaren Vale Shiraz that used to (and probably still does) make its way unlabeled into wines produced in other regions.
Rich, chocolatey oak, peppermint and black fruits with a hint of pastrami. Supple tannin. Mouth-coating with sinuous acidity and spice from the cooler year. The alcohol pokes out a bit but it’s a good hedonistic wine nonetheless. 88
